Father Christmas
The card's colors are dull, and only the pink of the doll being held by Father Christmas stands out. Father Christmas, in a hooded coat, is seated. He is holding a blonde-haired doll to the right of the card, dressed in a pale blue dress and pink bonnet. Behind him are two other dolls; the one in the upper right's head is covered by the postage stamp. The card is captioned "Papa Noel."

Father Christmas
The monochrome card depicts Father Christmas in a dark coat, pushing a sled of assorted gifts - including toys and what appears to be furniture. The background is the yard of a country house, with a well at its center. "Joyeux Noel" is printed near the top with handwriting underneath, and at the bottom, "Cette belle poupée est pour l'enfant bien sage / Qui m'ât-on dit était belle comme une image." Roughly in English this means 'This beautiful doll is for the child who was wise / Who I was told was beautiful as a picture.'
